Default mini me distributor question

i have a problem with my mini me head swap. i recently did the conversin and did everything in the write up but my car wont start. it cranks but it wont start. i noticed that both distributors fit and that the rotor on the distibuters are in different positions could this be a problem with my car not starting. i will post up pictures of the distibutor with out the cap so you can see how the rotor is different

just depend what ecu you use, you cant use a obd2 distributor with a obd0 ecu. if you ecu is obd0 use the obd 0 distributor.
